I consider classroom environment to refer to three different elements: physical set up and layout, digital space and overall feel.
Physical Setup/Layout:
Student tables arranged in groups to encourage collaboration
Community materials to promote sharing
Comfortable areas to increase student productivity
Adequate technology available to students and teachers at all times
Organized for ease of use by teacher and students
Student work displayed
Digital Space:
Class website
Blogs
Wikispaces
All other online resources used by students and teachers
Overall Feel:
Caring community
Encouraged to take risks
Mutual respect
Teacher as facilitator
